We study the Hawking temperature, geodesic motion, and observable signatures of the accelerating Bertotti-Robinson (BR) spacetime, a vacuum black-hole solution deformed by a uniform magnetic field $B$ and an acceleration parameter $α$. In the timelike sector, we derive the effective potential for massive particles, determine the specific energy and angular momentum for equatorial circular orbits, and determine how $(B,α)$ shifts the ISCO; we also illustrate representative trajectories of massive particles. We then compute the radial and latitudinal epicyclic frequencies for small perturbations about circular orbits, quantifying how the magnetic field and acceleration modify local radial and vertical stability. In the null sector, we derive the photon effective potential and obtain analytical expressions for the photon-sphere radius, critical impact parameter, and shadow radius, complemented by photon trajectories, the effective radial force, and the Lyapunov exponent controlling the instability of circular null orbits; we also provide parameter-space maps for the photon sphere and shadow. Finally, we obtain the energy emission rate emitted from the black hole, showing how the acceleration parameter and the magnetic field affect this.
A conformally flat accelerated charge metric is found in an arbitrary dimension $D$. It is a solution of the Einstein-Maxwell-null fluid with a cosmological constant in $D \ge 4$ dimensions. When the acceleration is zero our solution reduces to the Levi-Civita-Bertotti-Robinson metric. We show that the charge loses its energy, for all dimensions, due to the acceleration.
We present a series of new solutions in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with an arbitrary Chern-Simons coupling $γ$ and a cosmological constant $Λ$. For general $γ$ and $Λ$ we give various generalizations of the Bertotti-Robinson solutions supported by electric and magnetic fluxes, some of which presumably describe the near-horizon regions of black strings or black rings. Among them there is a solution which could apply to the horizon of a topological AdS black ring in gauged minimal supergravity. Others are horizonless and geodesically complete. We also construct extrema…
Conformal field theories corresponding to two-dimensional electrically charged black holes and to two-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with a covariantly constant electric field are simply constructed as $SL(2,R)/Z$ WZW coset models. The two-dimensional electrically charged black holes are related by Kaluza-Klein reduction to the 2+1-dimensional rotating black hole of Banados, Teitelboim and Zanelli, and our construction is correspondingly related to its realization as a WZW model. Four-dimensional spacetime solutions are obtained by tensoring these two-dimensional theories with $SU(2)/Z(m)$ c…
We consider 2+1--dimensional analogues of the Bertotti-Robinson (BR) spacetimes in the sense that the coefficient at the angular part is a constant. We show that such BR-like solutions are either pure static or uncharged rotating. We trace the origin of the inconsistency between a charge and rotation, considering the BR-like spacetime as a result of the limiting transition of a non-extremal black hole to the extremal state. We also find that the quasilocal energy and angular momentum of such BR-like spacetimes calculated within the boundary $l=const$ ($l$ is the proper distance) are constants …
In the present article we obtain, by separation of variables, an exact solution to the Dirac equation with anomalous momentum for an electrically neutral massless particle in a Bertotti-Robinson universe. We discuss the phenomenom of particle creation in this model.
Bertotti-Robinson spacetimes are topologically $AdS_2 \times S^2$ and described by a conformally flat metric. Together with the Coulomb electric potential, they provide a class of static, geodetically complete Einstein-Maxwell solutions. We show here that the Bertotti-Robinson metric together with Wu-Yang magnetic pole potentials give a class of static solutions of a system of non-minimally coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills equations that may be relevant for investigating vacuum polarization effects in a first order perturbative approach to quantum fields.
We report on a series of new solutions to five-dimensional minimal supergravity. Our method applies to space-times with two commuting Killing symmetries and consists in combining dimensional reduction on two-spaces of constant curvature with reduction on a two-torus. The first gives rise to various generalized Bertotti-Robinson solutions supported by electric and magnetic fluxes, which presumably describe the near-horizon regions of black holes and black rings (strings). The second provides generating techniques based on U-duality of the corresponding three-dimensional sigma model. We identify…
We investigate conformal mechanics associated with the rotating Bertotti-Robinson (RBR) geometry found recently as the near-horizon limit of the extremal rotating Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton-axion black holes. The solution breaks the $SL(2,R)\times SO(3)$ symmetry of Bertotti-Robinson (BR) spacetime to $SL(2,R)\times U(1)$ and breaks supersymmetry in the sense of $N=4, d=4$ supergravity as well. However, it shares with BR such properties as confinement of timelike geodesics and discreteness of the energy of test fields on the geodesically complete manifold. Conformal mechanics governing the radia…
We consider the pure electric type power-law Lagrangian in nonlinear electrodynamics theory of dimensions $n+1$. Conformally flat form of Bertotti-Robinson type spacetimes are obtained in all these dimensions with the specific power $s=-\frac{1}{n-4},$which naturally excludes $n=4.$ This particular dimension is considered separately which is not of power-law form.
We construct new solutions of five-dimensional quadratic gravity as direct products of a constant curvature two-surface with a solution of three-dimensional new massive gravity with constant scalar curvature. These solutions could represent near-horizon limits of five-dimensional asymptotically flat black strings or black rings. A number of these non-asymptotically flat solutions are themselves black strings or rings. A by-product of our analysis is the construction of new solutions of four-dimensional quadratic gravity obtained by toroidal reduction of the five-dimensional solutions with flat…
We present a solution for the Einstein-Maxwell (EM) equations which unifies both the magnetic Bertotti-Robinson (BR) and Melvin (ML) solutions as a single metric in the axially symmetric coordinates ${t,ρ,z,φ} $. Depending on the strength of magnetic field the spacetime manifold, unlike the cases of separate BR and ML spacetime, develops singularity on the symmetry axis ($ρ=0$). Our analysis shows, beside other things that there are regions inaccessible to all null geodesics.
Spherically symmetric classical model of an elementary particle or a black hole spacetime without central singularity had been constructed by O. B. Zaslavskii in PRD 70(2004)104017. In this model an extremal Reissner-Nordstr% öm (RN) black hole and a Bertotti-Robinson (BR) spacetime are glued at the horizon such that the inner/core spacetime is the regular BR while outside is the extremal RN. In this note we investigate the stability of such a particle / regular black hole against linear radial perturbations. The model turns out to be stable against such perturbations with a linear equation of…
We present a new solution to dilaton-axion gravity which looks like a rotating Bertotti-Robinson (BR) Universe. It is supported by an homogeneous Maxwell field and a linear axion and can be obtained as a near-horizon limit of extremal rotating dilaton-axion black holes. It has the isometry $SL(2,R)\times U(1)$ where U(1) is the remnant of the SO(3) symmetry of BR broken by rotation, while $SL(2,R)$ corresponds to the $AdS_2$ sector which no longer factors out of the full spacetime. Alternatively our solution can be obtained from the D=5 vacuum counterpart to the dyonic BR with equal electric a…

In two previous papers we have analyzed the C-metric in a background with a cosmological constant, namely the de Sitter (dS) C-metric, and the anti-de Sitter (AdS) C-metric, following the work of Kinnersley and Walker for the flat C-metric. These exact solutions describe a pair of accelerated black holes in the flat or cosmological constant background, with the acceleration A being provided by a strut in-between that pushes away the two black holes. In this paper we analyze the extremal limits of the C-metric in a background with generic cosmological constant. We follow a procedure first intro…

We consider the problem of quantum field theory on the Bertotti-Robinson space-time, which arises naturally as the near horizon geometry of an extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole but can also arise in certain near-horizon limits of non-extremal Reissner Nordstrom space-time. The various vacuum states have been considered in the context of $AdS_{2}$ black holes by Spradlin and Strominger who showed that the Poincare vacuum, the Global vacuum and the Hartle-Hawking vacuum are all equivalent, while the Boulware vacuum and the Schwarzschild vacuum are equivalent. We verify this by explicitly co…
The product spacetimes of constant curvature describe in Einstein gravity, which is linear in Riemann curvature, Nariai metric which is a solution of $Λ$-vacuum when curvatures are equal, $k_1=k_2$, while it is Bertotti-Robinson metric describing uniform electric field when curvatures are equal and opposite, $k_1=-k_2$. We probe pure Lovelock gravity by these simple product spacetimes and prove that the same characterization of these solutions is indeed true in general for pure Lovelock gravitational equation of order $N$ in $d=2N+2$ dimension. We also consider these solutions for the conventi…
The Dirac equation is solved in the rotating Bertotti-Robinson spacetime. The set of equations representing the Dirac equation in the Newman-Penrose formalism is decoupled into an axial and angular part. The axial equation, which is independent of mass, is solved exactly in terms of hypergeometric functions. The angular equation is considered both for massless (neutrino) and massive spin-(1/2) particles. For the neutrinos, it is shown that the angular equation admits an exact solution in terms of the confluent Heun equation. In the existence of mass, the angular equation does not allow an anal…
We discuss the problem of wormholes from the viewpoint of gluing together two Reissner--Nordström-type universes while putting between them a segment of the Nariai-type world (in both cases there are also present electromagnetic fields as well as the cosmological constant). Such a toy wormhole represents an example of one-way topological communication free from causal paradoxes, though involving a travel to next spacetime sheet since one has to cross at least a pair of horizons through which the spacetimes' junction occurs. We also consider the use of thin shells in these constructions. Such a…

We discuss the question, whether the Reissner-Nordström RN) metric can be glued to another solutions of Einstein-Maxwell equations in such a way that (i) the singularity at r=0 typical of the RN metric is removed (ii), matching is smooth. Such a construction could be viewed as a classical model of an elementary particle balanced by its own forces without support by an external agent. One choice is the Minkowski interior that goes back to the old Vilenkin and Fomin's idea who claimed that in this case the bare delta-like stresses at the horizon vanish if the RN metric is extremal. However, the …
Thermal Wightman functions of a massless scalar field are studied within the framework of a ``near horizon'' static background model of an extremal R-N black hole. This model is built up by using global Carter-like coordinates over an infinite set of Bertotti-Robinson submanifolds glued together. The analytical extendibility beyond the horizon is imposed as constraints on (thermal) Wightman's functions defined on a Bertotti-Robinson sub manifold. It turns out that only the Bertotti-Robinson vacuum state, i.e. $T=0$, satisfies the above requirement. Furthermore the extension of this state onto …

We give a general class of static, spherically symmetric, non-asymptotically flat and asymptotically non-(anti) de Sitter black hole solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) theory of gravity in 4-dimensions. In this general study we couple a magnetic Maxwell field with a general dilaton potential, while double Liouville-type potentials are coupled with the gravity. We show that the dilatonic parameters play the key role in switching between the Bertotti-Robinson and Reissner-Nordström spacetimes. We study the stability of such black holes under a linear radial perturbation, and in this sen…

The Levi-Civita Bertotti Robinson (LBR) spacetime is investigated in various coordinate systems. By means of a general formalism for constructing coordinates in conformally flat spacetimes, coordinate transformations between the different coordinate systems are deduced. We discuss the motion of the reference frames in which the different coordinate systems are comoving. Furthermore we characterize the motion of the different reference frames by their normalized timelike Killing vector fields, i.e. by the four velocity fields of the reference particles. We also deduce the formulae in the differ…

The product space configuration $AdS_2\times S_2$ (with $l$ and $r$ being radiuses of the components) carrying the electric charge $Q$ is demonstrated to be an exact solution of the semiclassical Einstein equations in presence of the Maxwell field. If the logarithmic UV divergences are absent in the four-dimensional theory the solution we find is identical to the classical Bertotti-Robinson space ($r=l=Q$) with no quantum corrections added. In general, the analysis involves the quadratic curvature coupling $λ$ appearing in the effective action. The solutions we find are of the following types:…
